Reuters backtracks, attends DOJ meeting

5/31/13 3:50 PM EDT

Reuters, which was among nine news outlets planning not to go to an off-the-record meeting this week with Attorney General Eric Holder, appeared at one held Friday.

Politico's Dylan Byers first reported that Reuters was attending and a company spokesperson confirmed it to The Huffington Post.

Barb Burg, vice president and global head of communications, told The Huffington Post that Reuters "did attend a meeting today and only because the off the record ground rules were adjusted. We did not attend yesterday's off the record meeting."
